Hello there... erm I'm having a slight problem with my computer... it used to work fine, but now when I turn it on, if theres a CD/DVD in the drive, it seems like it's starting up for around 1 - 10 seconds then shuts down, and will do this 5/6 times in a row before successfully starting up. I'm not sure if this is a power management issue or not. I've tried changing the order of the boot drives in Bios but to no avail, I'm just a little confused about why it's happening (I have about as much computer knowledge as the average Amish farmer). Obviously it's not a huge issue as long as i remember to take the cd out of the drive before shutting down, it's just a tad frustrating. Can't actually remember all the specs of the computer... i'll dig them out though if required...
